Gonadotrophs in pituitary gland

Caption

Two adult mouse pituitary glands. On the left, gonadotrophs derived after birth from stem cells appear in yellow. On the right, gonadotrophs in the embryo appear in green/yellow in the centre of the gland. The postnatal population invades the whole gland whereas cells born in the embryo are confined to this small central region.
